After seeing a commercial on TV for the Outback Steakhouse, I got a craving for their Bloomin' Onion. This recipie was absolutely perfect! I made onion rings based on others' reviews, so it was easy and delicious! The dipping sauce is also just what I was looking for. My boyfriend wants to keep it around for dipping other foods, too. Thanks!

We've always loved onion blooms when we eat out, this is an excellent recipe, tastes just like them. And the sauce is great too! My deep fat fryer doesn't do a whole onion well, so I make rings or petals instead, and get raves every time!

The dipping sauce was great, but my blooming onion lovers wanted alot more horse raddish, also the recipe for the batter was great, but instead I just cut my onions into rings, make sure that you coat as thick as you can! They were great!

This is by far the best blooming onion I have ever had. I am now using this recipe for mushrooms and zucchini as well.

if you slice the onion and then soak it in ice water for about an hour it will "bloom" or open up so you can serve it like the Chilis and Outback do. The souce is great.

This is an excellent recipe. Not only does it make a great "blooming onion", but it also makes great onion rings, if you prefer them. And it makes good onion petals, too.

Fantastic recipe! It's restaurant style, only cheaper! I found it difficult getting the onion to 'bloom' so I may opt to make onion rings next time- but definately a keeper.
